Hi Hao,
Hi Alan,

Thanks for the comments.

We are going to want to be able use different FPGA managers with this
framework.  The different manager may be part of a different FME in
fabric or it may be a hardware FPGA manager.  Fortunately, at this
point now the changes, noted below, to get there are pretty small.
Yes, understand these could be some cases that FME having different PR
hardware.
Or supporting reduced FME plus hardware-based FPGA manager.

Just to re-emphasize, the basic intent of the FPGA manager subsystem
in the first place is to have FPGA managers separate from higher level
frameworks so that the higher level frameworks will be able to able to
use different FPGAs.

At this point, the framework is assuming all FME's include the same
FPGA manager device which would use the driver in dfl-fme-mgr.c.

I'm thinking of two cases where the manager isn't the same as a
dfl-fme-mgr.c manager are a bit different:

(1) a FME-based FPGA manager, but different implementation, different
registers.  The constraint is that the port implementation has to be
similar enough to use the rest of the base FME code.   I am wondering
if the FPGA manager can be added to the DFL.  At this point, the DFL
would drive which FPGA manager is alloc'd.   That way the user gets to
use all this code in dfl-fme-pr.c but with their FPGA manager.
Actually I'm not sure how this will be implemented in the hardware in the
future, but from my understanding, there may be several methods to add this
support (a different PR hardware) to FME.

1) introduce a new PR sub feature to FME.
   driver knows it by different feature id, and create different fpga
   manager platform device, but may not be able to reuse dfl-fme-pr.c.
What would prevent reusing dfl-fme-pr.c?  It looks like this is 98% of
the way there and only needs a way of knowing which FPGA manager
driver to alloc here. I am hoping that a new PR sub feature could be
added and that dfl-fme-pr.c can be reused.
2) add a different PR hardware support to current PR sub feature.
   It requires hardware to add registers to indicate this is a different
   PR hardware than dfl-fme-mgr.c, and its register region information
   (e.g location and size). Then this dfl-fme-pr.c driver could read
   these information from hardware and create a different fpga manager
   platform device with correct resources.
So this dfl-fme-pr.c would have to know where some ID registers are
and the enumeration gets messier.  Some of the enumeration would be
DFL and some would be from information that is not in the DFL headers.
The DFL should contain the knowledge of which mgr to use.
I think current driver framework could support both cases above for sure.

(2) a FPGA manager that can be added by device tree in the case of a
platform that is using device tree.  I think this will be pretty
simple and can be done later when someone is actually bringing this
framework up on a FPGA running under device tree.  I'm thinking that
the base DFL device that reads the dfl data from hardware can have a
DT property that points to the FPGA manager.  That manager can be
saved somewhere handy like the pdata and passed down to this code,
which realizes it can use that existing device and doesn't need to
alloc a platform device.  But again, that's probably best done later.
Sure, we can discuss further when we really need it. Actually per my
understanding, if hardware describes itself clearly, we may not have to
use DT for fpga manager, as driver could create it automatically based
on information read from hardware. :)
DT exists for busses that don't have that kind of discovery.  For a
concrete example, consider how the Arria10 driver (socfpga-a10.c)
probe function is getting its two mmio spaces and clock.

Everything in dfl-fme-pr.h up to this point is good and general and
should remain in dfl-fme-pr.h.  The register #defines for this FME's
FPGA manager device below should be associated with the FPGA manager
driver.  Sorry if the way I stated that in the v3 review wasn't clear.
Actually I put the PR sub feature register set definitions in this header
file (dfl-fme-pr.h), because it's possible the driver (dfl-fme-pr.c) of
this PR sub feature access some of the registers in the future. e.g read
some PR sub feature registers to create different fpga manager platform
devices as I mentioned above.
That sounds like a workaround.  Since you're adding a new method of
enumeration, you should use that new method of enumeration to choose
which FPGA manager is being used.  Otherwise we are ending up with
multi-level enumeration, i.e. look at the DFL and then look at a
specific register location in the device.
I have to say this is only future consideration, and in this dfl-fme-pr.c
driver there is no code to access below registers currently. I can move all
of them to dfl-fme-mgr.h or dfl-fme-mgr.c in the next version if this is
preferred. : )
That sounds good.  That makes the mgr driver its own separate thing
which is what is supposed to happen in this framework.

This stuff is specific to this FPGA manager device, so it should
either be in the dfl-fme-mgr.c or in a dfl-fme-mgr.h
same as above, I can fix this in the next version.
